Baby challenges are a part of life and whether you are a new mom, or a new family, that has to adapt to those challenges, it is always great when you discover a product that can make your life just a little bit easier – dare we say normal?
Catcchii, catchy or catchii, no matter how you spell it, it is a game changer for moms with newborns. In this blog we look at the baby challenges for new, and experienced, moms when bringing a newborn home.
10 New Baby Challenges
- Sleep Deprivation: Newborns require frequent feedings and care, disrupting sleep patterns and leading to exhaustion.
- Physical Recovery: Mothers need time to heal from childbirth, which can include dealing with pain, fatigue, and other postpartum issues.
- Breastfeeding Challenges: Establishing breastfeeding can be difficult due to issues like latching problems, milk supply concerns, and sore nipples.
- Emotional Changes: Hormonal shifts can lead to mood swings, anxiety, and postpartum depression.
- Lack of Experience: New parents may feel overwhelmed by the responsibility and unsure about how to care for a newborn.
- Time Management: Balancing the needs of the baby with household chores and personal care can be challenging.
- Support System: Limited help from family and friends can increase stress and feelings of isolation.
- Adjusting to New Roles: Both parents must adapt to their new roles and the changes in their relationship.
- Financial Strain: The costs associated with a new baby can add financial pressure.
- Health Concerns: Worrying about the baby’s health and development can be stressful.
Understanding these baby challenges can help new parents prepare and seek support to make the transition smoother.
Catcchii: A Game Changer for New Mothers
My niece and mother of two kids urged me to write a piece on how the Catcchii saved her precious time with her second baby. The Catcchii was not developed when she had her first baby six years ago and therefore she could easily assess and make us aware of the benefits of the Catcchii when you have a newborn at home. Her son was in the NICU for a couple of weeks, and once home , she hardly had time to shower and wash her hair between feeds.
The motherly instinct takes over, and everything is about the baby and their needs. My niece said she jumped in the shower, washed her hair, and wrapped it in the easy-to-use Catcchii hair towel for straight hair. By this time, the little guy was screaming for food, and she said the Catcchii was a lifesaver.
Leaving a newborn alone to shower or bathe can be difficult for new moms due to several reasons:
- Safety Concerns: Newborns are fragile and need constant supervision to ensure their safety. The fear of something happening while they are out of sight can be overwhelming.
- Anxiety and Worry: New moms often experience heightened anxiety and worry about their baby’s well-being, making it hard to step away even for a short time.
- Attachment and Bonding: The strong bond between a mother and her newborn can make separation, even briefly, emotionally challenging.
- Unpredictable Needs: Newborns can be unpredictable in their needs, requiring feeding, diaper changes, or comfort at any time, making it hard for moms to find a moment to step away.
- Lack of Support: If a mother is alone or has limited support, finding someone trustworthy to watch the baby, even for a few minutes, can be difficult.
- New Routine: Adjusting to the new routine and responsibilities of caring for a newborn can make it hard to manage personal care and time.
These factors contribute to the difficulty new moms face in finding moments to take care of their own needs, such as showering or bathing.
Why the Catcchii is a game changer for new moms with baby challenges according to my niece who has first-hand experience:
- The Catcchii addresses points 3,5 and 7 regarding new mom baby challenges as well as all the points about new moms needing to take a quick shower in between feeds and care for the baby.
- It is so easy to wrap your hair in a Catcchii – be it long , medium or curly hair.
- It is light on the head.
- Catcchii does not make your head feel cold.
- It does not come loose like traditional towels when you breastfeed and disrupts the feeding and bonding time.
- Once you are done with the feeding and the burping routine, the hair is dry, and you can just comb it or style it quickly to be ready for the next session.
- The Catcchii looks beautiful on and your hair looks healthy once you had a chance to style it.
- Moms need to look and feel good for their emotional wellbeing
The Catcchii Family Affair
Our family from the Free State visited us recently and showered before supper after a long day of work and travel. To my surprise, and delight, I was surrounded by my two nieces and one six-year-old with Catcchii’s on their heads. It felt like I was in the middle of a Catcchii advertisement without it being recorded.
They stated this is their evening routine, and they only take the Catcchii off once their hair is dry. My one niece dried and styled her hair after three hours in the Catcchii and was impressed that it reduced the hair drying time and that she could do all her work, chores, or just chill with her Catcchii on her head.
There are times that she forgets about the Catcchii on her head as it feels so comfortable and looks beautiful. My other niece and her six-year-old only took it off before going to bed. They said they usually comb and brush their hair the next morning and it looked amazing for a special lunch event we had with the rest of our family and friends.
The six year old loves her Catcchii and it has become an integral part of her hair routine. She loves it so much that it has now become a favourite pamper gift to her friends on their birthdays. The kids use it after a swim in summer. It is easy to pack for camping and in winter it is a must to keep the head warm while it dries on its own. The pre and primary school girls loves it as they have pamper parties with their different coloured Catcchii’s. Yes pamper parties is a thing for this generation!
Catcchii Benefits
Our hair towels are designed to be an integral part of the hair care regime. Catcchii is designed to fill the gap between your post-wash and pre-dry regime with a hair dryer, diffuser, or hot styling brush. It reduces damage caused by the heat over a prolonged period in the hair styling process.
The hand towel filled the gap for many years but it is impractical because it gets heavy, feels wet and cold after a while and worst of all, it keeps falling off your head. Catcchii, in contrast, makes provision for straight and curly hair, stays on your head and in doing so gives you the time to put on your make-up and alleviates the frustration
Are you a young, mature, wise or a new mom dealing with baby challenges? Catcchii is a must because it takes care of your hair health as well as the emotional wellbeing of mother and baby.
